London's best secret gardens

A tranquil and hidden garden within the Temple complex, just a stone’s throw from Fleet Street.

The Master’s House is the vicarage associated with Temple Church, and the L-shaped garden runs between the two. The main part of the garden is an elevated plateau, built above catacombs dating back to the 17th century. I have visited the garden and it is a very beautiful space, and feels quite hidden and secret. It is never accessible to the public, and a real coup for us to have it in the programme this year.
